		<description><![CDATA[Luckily, understanding these differences has helped.  I know my son and I need to have a fair amount of decompression time, alone.  I know my youngest daughter needs to have far (far) more activities and social time than I require.  I know my eldest can go either way, depending on her mood.  I know my husband likes to be out and about more.  Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy activities, too, but I get tired quicker.  And so my husband and I can facilitate these preferences for our kids, and for each other.  It’s probably actually a good thing we have these different personalities, because it forces us to find a bit of balance.  <p><a href="http://margaretdilloway.com/2010/09/20/the-introverts-vs-the-extroverts/">Continue reading &#187;</a></p><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=margaretdilloway.com&#038;blog=7288781&#038;post=1242&#038;subd=margaretdilloway&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Scripps College, where I went to school, the mantra is to prepare women for lives of  "confidence, courage, and  hope."  I can't think of a better time to start teaching these traits than in childhood.  I wasn't taught these traits.  My parents' mantra was more like, "Live lives of suspicion, blaming others, and doom." My mother often would not let me do things because she said, "What if something happens?"  If I got a bad grade on a test, my parents would be livid; then I would say something like, "The teacher didn't do a good job teaching it," and the blame would shift.  It could always be someone else's fault. <p><a href="http://margaretdilloway.com/2009/05/10/teaching-children-confidence-courage-and-hope-or-why-im-not-afraid-of-public-schools/">Continue reading &#187;</a></p><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=margaretdilloway.com&#038;blog=7288781&#038;post=161&#038;subd=margaretdilloway&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
